Same as my 4s, 32gb.


With all the photos, videos, music and apps I have, I wouldn't be surprised If I end up with a 64gb with the iPhone 5S!:p

64, and it still isn't enough space. I have a lot of music.

I thought about upgrading to a 64 for this reason, but I'm just going to pare my music down a bit for this. Besides, I use pandora way more than my music app, so I've gotta get those priorities in line :)

32gb like before for me. I agree that it should have been the base...

I ordered a 32GB 9/14 from apple.com and will be getting it 9/21 but I'm sort of lamenting not spending the extra $100 and getting the 64GB. I had another post about returning the 32GB on 9/21 and exchanging it for the 64GB but from some further reading it seems likely they wouldn't work. I think I would have to actually send it back to apple.com and re-do everything all over again which seems like a pain in the a**.

I have about 5GB free on my current 32GB iPhone now, mostly pics are taking up the space-I never delete any of them. Maybe I should just start clearing them out more often.

Got a 32GB in white. I have a 16GB new iPad and while I love it, I've always regretted not getting a larger storage capacity. But also, I don't think my usage/needs justify spending $100 more for a 64GB iPhone. :)

32gb because in the uk its only £70 more than the 16gb. And its the same price as the older 4s but the 16gb 5 is £30 more than the 16gb 4s was. If you follow.....

16GB

I have a 32GB 3GS and one 64GB iPad. Recently I dont use very much space and it just feels like it's not worth the extra money. And as internet gets better and I use spotify even less. If it was $50 more I might have gone 32 and 64 but not $100.

32 was always the plan - unless they made it the base model and had 64 for 599 here in the UK. The initial raising of price of the 16 to 529 had me thinking id get that if the 32 went up as well, but it didn't so that just set 32 in stone.

32 is not nearly enough for all my music, but I seem to go through phases of listening to 5 or 6 albums at a time, and can't justify another 100 quid when I could just be a bit less lazy and sync different music every so often. Plus I still have my 2nd gen ipod touch which I wont be getting rid of.

64 for me. Apps and Music take over very quickly. Might add a few movies too...

I'm going with the 16 GB. I figure with iCloud and Dropbox, I should be OK. Besides, my Galaxy is 16 GBs and while its full, I still find that I have everything I need on it.

Cheaped out and got a 16GB with iTunes match. In my defence I'm having to shell out for two though!
